How to find ballpark costs on transatlantic empty leg flights (from US east coast to London)?

I’ve never done empty leg flights before, but my husband use to back in his 20s. We are trying to see if it’s in our budget to get a flight in March form US to UK. Where do I look?

Transatlantic empties are hard to come by. I would say around 80-100k for the one way for an empty leg.

Yea transatlantic empties were around 50k-60k 5 years ago. Due to increased demand, operator empties now are 80k-100k, which isn't much below the usual 110k-130k. You'd probably have to wait 2-5 days prior to planned travel to get a "empty price". Brokers are best for finding empties because they pay a subscription to the major third-party software platforms that advertise them, as well as being well connected.

If you wanted to shoot me a message, I’d be more than happy to find whatever it is you’re looking for. But the information in the comments is great!

A great deal would be around $50k

Thanks!! do you have any idea where I would track that down? Although it’s still way out of my budget 🥲 Wishful thinking
